Abstract
A method is described in which the wheel pressure in an electronically controlled motor vehicle brake system is determined. The brake system includes inlet valves and outlet valves in the wheel circuits. At least one of the valves allows adjusting the valve current. The basis for this are previously determined calibration values which describe the opening current behavior of the outlet valve. A verification of the wheel pressure is performed during a wheel pressure control operation by briefly opening the outlet valve of one brake circuit. The current prevailing in this case can be taken into account as an indicator for determining the wheel pressure.
